What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Moe's Southwest Grill Franchise Disclosure Document, attendance at Additional Programs is mandatory for specific personnel. These programs may include conferences, conventions, webinars, teleconferences, or refresher training sessions related to the Moe's Southwest Grill system. The brand determines the duration, curriculum, and location of these programs, which can be web-based, in-person, or on-site training.
The individuals required to attend these Additional Programs include the franchisee's Required Trainees, Primary Contact, Owners, and any other personnel that Moe's Southwest Grill designates. The FDD states that franchisees may be charged a reasonable fee for their trainees to attend these programs. Currently, these fees range from $0 to $2,500 per attendee, but this amount may increase each calendar year, subject to an Allowed Adjustment.
As a prospective franchisee, it is important to factor in these potential training costs when evaluating the overall investment. Franchisees should budget for these expenses and clarify with Moe's Southwest Grill what types of personnel will be required to attend Additional Programs, how often these programs occur, and what the typical costs have been in recent years. Understanding these requirements will help in accurately forecasting operating expenses and ensuring compliance with Moe's Southwest Grill's training standards.
